Bike Courier vs Littering Motorist

We were sent information about a confrontation that took place between a Toronto bike courier and car driver. Allegedly the motorist threw litter (food) out of his car and the bike courier picked up and flung it back into the car. The motorist then got out of his car and attacked the courier. A photographer for CityNoise.org was in the vicinity and captured the whole confrontation. The incident can be viewed here
